### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR fixes Minimax model loading in vLLM Ascend backend by:
Adding model type check for "minimax" and "minimax_m2" to replace "mlp"
prefix with "block_sparse_moe"
Implementing special handling for Minimax expert layer naming
conventions
Adding Minimax configuration to packed_modules_model_mapping for proper
qkv_proj and experts module handling
Without these changes, Minimax models fail to load on Ascend devices due
to incompatible layer naming and module packing.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. Users can now successfully load and run Minimax models on Ascend
hardware with vLLM. This enables inference capabilities for this model
family on Ascend devices.
### How was this patch tested?
Local Testing:
Verified model loading for minimax-xxx and minimax_m2-xxx model variants
on Atlas 800I A2 hardware
Tested inference with sample prompts using vLLM's OpenAI-compatible API
server
Benchmark Validation:
Compared throughput and latency metrics against GPU baseline
Verified memory usage stays within expected limits for different batch
sizes
Tested multi-card inference scenarios with tensor parallelism

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Unify the loading logic for expert_map and log2phy.
1. The map generated when enabling the redundancy expert is incorrect.
The community generation map function only accepts the number of global
experts. When we pass in the number of logical experts plus redundant
experts, the local expert ID of the last card will index to an expert ID
that does not exist. Now we ensure that the index points to a real
existing expert ID, and each expert can be accessed. Moreover, when
redundant experts are not enabled, the output of our function remains
consistent with the community's function.
2. The map we generate is based on the length of the physical expert,
but in reality, we only need to use the length of the logical expert.
Later on, we will need to pad it accordingly, so we can simply generate
a map with the length of the logical [expert.]
3. Unify the initialization logic across different scenarios and
simplify the code for fused_moe.
**Before refactoring**
- map path is not None：
expert map: get_rank_placement_map from _'expert_load_balancer.py'_,
maintains the map for all ranks and all layers.
log2phy: get_rank_log2phy_map from _'expert_load_balancer.py'_,
maintains the map for all ranks and all layers.
- map path is None:
expert map: determine_expert_map from '_vllm.laye_r', The function does
not support the redundant experts of vllm-ascend.
log2phy: determine_default_log2phy_map from _'eplb_utils.py'_. The
function does not support the redundant experts of vllm-ascend.

Supports generalized FlashComm2 optimization, which reduces

AllGather step by replacing Allreduce operations in the Attention module
with pre-AlltoAll and post-AllGather operations (used in combination
with FlashComm1). This feature is enabled during the Prefill phase and
is recommended to be used together with FlashComm1, delivering broad
performance improvements, especially in long sequence scenarios with
large tensor parallelism (TP) configurations. Benchmark tests show that
under TP16DP1 configuration, it can improve the prefill performance of
the DeepSeek model by 8% on top of FlashComm1.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
**Problem Description:**
The existing implementation for the w4a8-dynamic linear method only
supports the old quantization format from msmodelslim. When attempting
to load models quantized with the new version, vLLM encounters errors
due to mismatched tensor shapes and unprocessed quantization parameters.
Relavant issues:
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3192
- https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/3152
**Proposed Changes:**
1. Add support for w4a8 dynamic(new format) in
AscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod and TorchairAscendW4A8DynamicLinearMethod
2. Add unit tests and e2e tests for w4a8 dynamic new and old format
models
<details>
<summary><b>details</b></summary>
1. **Support for new w4a8-dynamic format:**
* Detects quantization format by reading the "version" field in
quant_description to ensure backward compatibility.
* Handles the new pre-packed weight format (`2x int4` in an `int8`),
which has a halved dimension. It tells the vLLM loader how to unpack it
using `_packed_dim` and `_packed_factor`.
* Supports the new `scale_bias` parameter, setting its shape based on
the layer type, as required by msmodelslim. For api consistency and
future use, the `layer_type` parameter was also added to other
quantization methods.
* Updates the weight processing logic: new format weights are handled
with `.view(torch.int32)` since they're pre-packed, while old ones are
processed with `npu_convert_weight_to_int4pack`.
2. **New unit and E2E tests:**
* Added unit tests that verify the logic for both the old and new
formats.
* Split the distributed E2E test to confirm that both old and new format
models work correctly.
</details>
Theoretically, these changes will provide support for all common new
version w4a8(dynamic) models from msmodelslim.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no
### How was this patch tested?
I implement relevant unit tests and e2e tests and test the changes with
following commands:
```bash
# unit tests
python -m pytest tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py tests/ut/torchair/quantization/test_torchair_w4a8_dynamic.py -v

pytest tests/e2e/multicard/test_offline_inference_distributed.py::test_models_distributed_DeepSeek_W4A8DYNAMIC -v -s
```
I also tested Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct quantized with the new w4a8-dynamic
format:
```
vllm serve ./models/Hunyuan-1.8B-Instruct-quantized --gpu-memory-utilization 0.96 --quantization ascend --max-model-len 9600 --seed 0 --max-num-batched-tokens 16384
```
All tests mentioned passed locally.
**NOTE: I use quantization model from my own repo in
test_offline_inference_distributed.py**. Here is the description:
[Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1](https://modelscope.cn/models/Anionex/Qwen3-1.7B-W4A8-V1/summary)
(including quantization steps).This should be replaced by a model in
vllm-ascend ci modelscope repo.

This PR supplements the execution logic for Linear layer. We use a new

CANN version is 8.3, the weights of the Linear layer will be converted
to FRACTAL_NZ, in both unquantized case and skipped ascend case. We also
use VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_NZ to control the existing NZ conversion, such as
w8a8-quantized case.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
The deepseek w4a8 weights we supported before were in mindie-format
format. It uses int8 to represent int4, so the weight size is similar to
w8a8, and we need to do a few extra steps to make vllm-ascend load it
normally.
Now we can directly use the new weight format, which uses two int4 packs
to save the weight, the weight size is reduced, and there is no need to
do many extra operations to directly use it on vllm-ascend, but we are
also compatible with the weights of the previous mindie format.
The weight changes in the new version:
1. The weight is packed （2 int4 pack to int8）
2. The bias required in the apply method is directly generated by
modelslim

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Supports Deepseek-R1 w4a8 quantization.
Since R1 w4a8 uses mixed quantization, only the MOE layer uses
w4a8_dynamic quantization, so we added the w4a8_dynamic.py file, which
includes the AscendW4A8DynamicFusedMoEMethod class.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
no
### How was this patch tested?
Adding ut case in `tests/ut/quantization/test_w4a8_dynamic.py` and
`tests/ut/quantization/test_quantizer.py`

Reference command：python3 quant_deepseek_w4a8.py --model_path {Original
weight path} --save_path {Generate weight path} --mindie_format
##### Adapt to vllm-ascend
Since mindie_format generates mindie format, some adaptation
modifications are needed for vllm-ascend to use it:
`quant_model_description_w8a8_dynamic.json` rename to
`quant_model_description.json`, and add `"group_size": 256`
Modification in `config.json`：`"model_type":deepseekv2` is changed to
`"model_type":deepseek_v3`; `quantization_config` is removed;
tips:The group_size and weights match. If the w4a8 weights are not
generated using msmodelslim, you can check the group_size in
quantization_config in config.json.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
When importing the EPLB expert map you need import expert map file by
vllm args additional_config
### How was this patch tested?
1.You need to collect expert hotness and generate an expert placement
file based on the hotness and the EPLB algorithm, or you can directly
use an existing expert placement table.
2.When launching vLLM, enable EC2 and pass the configuration via the
command-line argument:

### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR fixes two accuracy bugs incurred by PR #819 when running
deepseekv3 series models:
1. #819 adds `all_to_all` communication in quantized cases, but
`all_gather` && `reduce_scatter` are removed in both of quantized and
unquantized cases. When running unquantized deepseekv3 models with
`ep_size == world_size`, the moe modules fail to communicate. Therefore,
this PR adds `all_to_all` communication on unquantized situation to
solve this accuracy issue.
2. Use `ep_size` rather than `dp_size` to decide whether to use
`all_to_all` in moe.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No.

CI passed with new added/existing test.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
1. This PR introduces native `all_to_all` communication operator to fix
`allgather` bugs when dp_size > 1. Besides, it adds a naive
implementation of force-load-balance when doing profile runs.
2. The operator `npu_dequant_swiglu_quant` only supports input
hidden_states with dtype `torch.int32`. This tensor occupies space of
`global_bs * seq_len * topk * hidden_size`, which might be very large as
`ep_size` grows. Therefore we need to disable this operator and use
original `swiglu` && `quantize`.

No.

### What this PR does / why we need it?
After discussed with MindStudio about the quantization model format, we
decide to support another quant format which may used in new modelslim
tool, in which case, `quantization_config` may be removed from the
`config.json` file and `quant_model_description.json` will be used for
quantization configuration.

Yes, using the latest quantization format
